''Mr. President-elect,
I wish the election results may yield auspicious outcomes for the people of the friendly and allied US.
As we have addressed on many occasions during your Vice Presidency as well, Turkey-US relations have a strategic quality with a deep-rooted basis.
The challenges we are currently faced with at a regional and global level necessitate us to further enhance and strengthen our bilateral relations, which are based on shared interests and values.
Reiterating to that end our determination to work closely with the US administration in the period ahead, I believe that the strong cooperation and the ties of alliance between our two countries will continue to provide vital contributions to the world peace in the future, as has been the case thus far.
I congratulate you on your election success, and wholeheartedly wish the US people peace and welfare.”
